happens and that is how DD knows exactly what to do with the baby and
why he is so elusive about telling Harry any more than he absolutely
has too.   Also remember when Snape first sees Harry in the first book
and movie, he has kind of a surprised expression on his face.  What if
he knows Harry was there that night?   Also this trip back in time
gives Harry what he needs to finally end LV rein over the darkness
once and for all." <<


I was thinking something along the same lines recently: in Prisoner of
Azkaban, Lupin is surprised to hear that Harry heard James' voice in
his memory of that night.

If we take this to imply that James wasn't there, and that Harry was
mistaken in his identification of James, then there's a very tempting
parallel with the end of PoA - Harry thinks that he's seen James
casting a patronus, but it turns out to be Harry himself. Similarly,
if Harry thinks he heard James' voice, maybe that will turn out to be
Harry's own voice.

I'm not sure I buy it, but it would make for an interesting echo.
